Augusta Charter Bus Rentals

Every modern charter bus features high-backed, plush seating upholstered in durable fabric or vinyl, with headrests and armrests for comfort. Aisles are wide enough for easy movement, and each row typically has individual lighting and air vents overhead. Window shades or curtains provide privacy and block sunlight during daytime trips. Overhead storage runs the length of the cabin, while larger models include video monitors at the front and mid-cabin. The rear of the bus often houses a restroom, and the overall interior design prioritizes both comfort and functionality for long-distance travel.

Charter buses come in multiple sizes, but most full-size charter buses have between 40 and 56 seats. The exact number depends on the manufacturer and whether the bus has extra amenities like a restroom or more legroom between rows. For example, a typical 56-passenger bus will have 14 rows with four seats across (two on each side of the aisle), while smaller 40-seat models may have fewer rows or wider spacing. If you need something bigger or smaller, we can help you find it!

We offer some of the most state-of-the-art fleets in Augusta. Charter buses can be equipped with a range of amenities including reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, USB ports, TV monitors, DVD players, PA systems, luggage bays, and overhead parcel racks. Premium models may feature leather upholstery, tray tables, footrests, tinted windows, and individual reading lights. Be sure to specify which amenities are important to your group when booking so we can match you with the right vehicle.

Most newer charter buses have power outlets and/or USB ports at each seat row so passengers can charge phones, tablets, and laptops during the trip. Older models may not have individual outlets but could have a few available near the front or middle of the bus. If staying connected is important for your group, be sure to request a bus with outlets when you book. We can also provide WiFi-enabled coaches if you need internet access on the road.

Yes, most full-size charter buses do have bathrooms. These restrooms are located at the rear of the bus and typically include a toilet and a small sink. While they are functional for basic needs, they are not as spacious or fully equipped as a standard restroom. For longer trips, having an onboard restroom is a significant convenience, but for very large groups or extended journeys, additional planned stops may still be necessary.

Charter buses are designed with ample luggage space for large groups. There are typically two main storage areas: overhead compartments inside the bus for small bags and personal items, and large undercarriage bays beneath the bus for suitcases, equipment, or other bulky items. The undercarriage storage is spacious enough to accommodate multiple pieces of luggage per passenger, making it ideal for airport transfers, sports teams, or any group traveling with significant baggage.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Augusta varies depending on factors like the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, time of year, and specific amenities requested. Pricing is typically based on either hourly, daily, or mileage rates. Be sure to get a detailed quote that outlines all potential charges before booking. If you need transportation during the Masters Tournament, you should plan to pay premium rates—buses are in extremely high demand during this week, and hotel rooms for drivers are also very expensive. If your group is planning an overnight trip outside of Augusta (such as a casino trip to Alabama or a multi-day tour to Savannah or Charleston), the total cost will reflect the extended use of the bus. For the most accurate pricing, contact our team with your trip details and we’ll provide a customized quote within minutes.

It’s best to book your Augusta charter bus as early as possible—ideally six to nine months before your event or trip. This is especially important if you’re traveling during peak seasons like springtime Masters Week at Augusta National Golf Club or around major events such as Ironman 70.3 Augusta and Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival. Booking early gives you the widest selection of vehicles and ensures you lock in the best rates before demand drives prices up. Last-minute bookings are possible but may limit your options and increase costs.

Booking a charter bus with Augusta Party Bus Company is simple and straightforward. Start by calling our team at 762-271-5100 with your trip details, including the number of passengers, pickup and drop-off locations, itinerary, and any special requests for amenities. We’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific needs. Once you’re ready to move forward, you’ll sign a contract and pay a deposit to secure your reservation. Our team will stay in touch leading up to the trip to confirm final details and answer any questions. If plans change, we’re flexible and can adjust your booking as needed.

No, your quote does not include certain additional expenses such as parking fees, tolls, or entrance fees to specific venues. These costs are the responsibility of the renter and should be planned for accordingly. For example, if your itinerary includes stops at multiple locations with paid parking, those fees will need to be covered separately. It’s important to discuss your full itinerary with our team so we can advise you on any potential extra costs you may incur during your trip. Local parking fees include downtown parking decks, Augusta Common event rates, and venue-specific charges at places like James Brown Arena or SRP Park in North Augusta. If your trip includes a visit to Augusta National during Masters Week, expect premium parking fees and heavy traffic restrictions.

Augusta’s public transit system, run by Augusta Transit, offers fixed-route bus service with about ten lines connecting neighborhoods like Harrisburg, Laney Walker, West Augusta, and South Augusta to downtown. However, service is limited—buses typically run once an hour, don’t operate late at night, and coverage drops off significantly outside the city center. There’s no direct public transit to regional destinations like Fort Eisenhower, Evans, or Grovetown, making it difficult for large groups to rely solely on local buses for timely arrivals.

When you book a private charter bus rental in Augusta, you get door-to-door service on your schedule—not the city’s. This means no transfers, no waiting at unsheltered stops, and no missed connections if you’re running late after an event at the Miller Theater or Bell Auditorium. Charter buses also offer far more comfort and amenities than standard city buses, including reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and Wi-Fi. If you’re organizing transportation for a wedding at Sacred Heart Cultural Center, a corporate event at the Augusta Convention Center, or a school trip to Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, a private bus ensures everyone travels together efficiently and comfortably. Plus, charter buses can easily accommodate custom itineraries with multiple stops, making them ideal for bar crawls in downtown Augusta, church outings, or day trips to nearby attractions like Mistletoe State Park and Lake Thurmond.
